Question

What type of mirror is used as a side mirror in a scooter? Why is this type of mirror chosen?

Answer 1

Side mirror used in a scooter:

1. We use a convex mirror as a side mirror in a scooter.
2. This type of mirror is chosen because, the image produced by a convex mirror is always virtual, erect, and diminished.
3. The image produced in it is upright and located at the focal point.
4. It forms a diminished image of an object which is helpful for the driver to cover a wide area of view.
